His emphases that many people worry that children raised by homosexual couples would suffer from confusion over sex roles, and they might turn out to be homosexual. Society is afraid the continuation of this phenomenon will become a threat of human race extinction. In contrast with Pollit is totally different because she explains The considerable body of research on the children, and the parenting abilities of gay men and lesbians has consistently found that they are as good parents as their heterosexual counterparts and that their children do not differ appreciably from children raised by heterosexuals. In other words, children who are raised from homosexual households are no more likely to be gay or lesbian than other children. These are different points of view with important and credible
Interestingly in the Rutter study those who were adopted before the age of 6 months tended to show a more marked improvement compared to their older counterparts. This seems to coincide with Schaffer and Emerson’s Glaswegian infant study which showed that children below the age of 6 months treat everything indiscriminately having not formed an attachment. So naturally by definition the Romanian infants below 6 months couldn’t and didn’t suffer privation and so therefore didn’t suffer the effects of it later. However with the Rutter study it is hard to establish cause and effect. Many of the children suffered cognitive deficits but this might have rather been a result of a lack of substantial intellectual stimulation within the institutions as opposed to privation.
The biological theory tells us that genes determine a person’s gender. Klinefelters syndrome supports the biological approach as a person with this type of syndrome, where the individual has a XXY chromosome, will suffer from lack of body hair and underdeveloped genitals. Turners syndrome is when a woman is born with XO chromosomes which result in them having short bodies. However, some individuals are born with XY chromosomes and as they grow up, realise that their gender is female. Therefore there is reason to believe that genes may not affect gender development that much as there are a lot of people nowadays who are transgender.
The effects of discriminations are withdrawals, lack of confidence, self-worthlessness, putting down and belittling 1.3 Inclusive practice promotes equality and supports diversity by engaging the individual in decision making giving them control of the care they require and need. Enabling them to feel a sense of living again. The human rights act is all about respect for and the promotion and fostering of, the rights of individual people
Lesbians like to think that they have more loving, caring relationships than heterosexual couples, says Coleman. This article also points out, as do others, that lesbians often do not report domestic violence because they do not feel the police will respond, or because they fear exposure of their lesbian relationship to family and
In contrast, in more modern times, unwed mothers are more abundantly seen and accepted. In spite of what hardships it may bring, babies born to unwed mothers are now more often taken home to be raised by the mother and or extended family. Nevertheless, the most common reason for a mother to place her child up for adoption remains to be due to her being single. Secondly, in the 1950s society mainly concentrated on the negative views of being an unwed mother. The age of a person at the time of marriage was significantly lower than the age of today.
Homosexuality is a result of the person’s environment and how they are brought up as a child. Unfortunately some children are more damaged than others growing up from a result of their parents’ lack of parenting skills or lack of nurture. Alternatively, a child may grow up in a perfectly “normal” household but still turn out to be homosexual with no trace of homosexuality in that family tree. Either environment whether good or bad, has shaped that person to turn out a certain way. People have choices and you are who you are by the choices you make and the experiences you have in life.
One thing they expected to find in the experiment would be that the mothers and children that were clinically anxious would have higher scores and correlations than the ones who weren’t but the results were insignificant. However, the expressed behaviors were higher. According to the study and their findings, the results of the experiment could implicate some kind of treatment for childhood anxiety by managing parental anxiety and being
That may seem like a good idea, but I am sure that there must be differences between a child who grows up in an environment with same sex couples than with regular heterosexual parents. What do they think? How do they feel? It may be that children who grow up in gay parented family have good physical health, but it is questionable concerning their mental welfare . The mental health of people is what society usually cares and
While parents cannot determine whether their children have sex, use contraception, or become pregnant, the quality of their relationships with their children can make a real difference (Miller, 1998). The family unit must be restored. Parental influence focusing on the issues surrounding adolescent sexuality may help many teens from becoming parents at an early age. A variety of factors contribute to teenage pregnancy. The breakdown in American society includes moral and ethical issues.
